The Resolution At Vote
Repeal "Establish UNWCC"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #114
Proposed by: Iron Felix

Description: UN Resolution #114: Establish UNWCC (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE UNITED NATIONS

ACKNOWLEDGING the principle of the basic Human Right to sanitary water;

APPLAUDING the efforts of the authors of UN Resolution #114, “Establish UNWCC”;

CONCERNED, however, with the validity of the scientific arguments used in support of UN Resolution #114, specifically:
A) The claim that “sewage and waste water pumped in from surrounding areas” can serve as a reliable source of safe drinking water.
B) The further claim that artificial oases and reserves using “hydroponic plants” can adequately cleanse the wastewater and sewage, making it safe for human consumption.

UNCONVINCED that these methods represent the most efficient and economical means of delivering safe drinking water, particularly in developing nations and areas where sanitary sewage systems are non-existent;

FURTHER, believing that there are more conventional and scientifically proven methods of providing safe drinking water;

HEREBY repeals UN Resolution #114, “Establish UNWCC”.
 
Nyet Nay.

The UNWCC helps the environment by fighting overuse of natural resources and encouraging the recycling of water. It should stay.
